Ripe style #sauvingnonblanc - distinctive wild ramp, green onion aromas, fleshy apricot. Richer on palate, lower acidity than expected for SB, spicy arugula finish. Interesting CA SB. — 2 years ago

So distinctively #marlborough #sauvingnonblanc with grassy freshness, tropical fruit and a touch of brininess, but a bit less bright than most examples of the region. This would be superb with oysters and other seafood. — 6 years ago

Best California #sauvingnonblanc I've had in a few years--pretty, fresh, tropical tartness, balanced with floral & herbal notes #andersonvalley @pennyroyalfarm — 7 years ago

Very original #columbiavalley #washingtonstate wine. 85% #semillon and 15% #sauvingnonblanc medium lemon color, dry, rich texture, medium (+) aromas and flavors of lemon tart, ripe golden apples, hay and honey. High alcohol 14.5 but well integrated. Medium finish. Aging well for a 2016. — 5 years ago

Refreshing value CA #sauvingnonblanc blend - Kiwifruit, citrus aroma; richer mouthfeel with plenty of prominent acidity. Nice contrast to NZ SBs but still reflects those lovely tropical fruit notes. Quite excellent QPR for $7 at Total Wine. — 5 years ago

Friday Night Whites. Picked up this little southern beauty from the grocery based solely on location and label - yes, that’s me, basic AF. Anyways, Southern Right is a winery based on the southwest tip of South Africa that specializes in Pinotage and Sauvignon Blanc. The 2017 SvB is a dry offering of 10% Hemel-en-Aarde Valley grapes with the rest being a blend of other Walker Bay SvB with ~14k cases produced. Most of the grapes in the area grow in a sandstone/clay soil in a maritime climate, yielding a nice old world flavor profile to the wines, (think acid and mineral). Wine has been grown in South Africa since the 1650s, but only recently with the ending of Apartheid, has the industry been able to thrive. Chenin Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Colombard are the most grown varietals. Drank this one, on its own, chilled and unpaired. Remember to drink this now - SvB is best when young. ~$16 | #sauvingnonblanc #southafricanwine #fridaynightwhites

On the eyes: Pale light yellow, clear, light stain, med tears, no gas/floc.

On the nose: Delicate gooseberry and quince, sweet lychee, some floral notes and wet slate. Med alcohol.

On the tongue: Med+ acid, light tannin, med alcohol, juicy and round. Quince, asian pear, persimmon, and lychee rounding out to a bit of leafy notes and high mineralty. Really nice, long, pleasant finish. Not your classic SvB! — 7 years ago
